Perfect place if you want to wait 30 mins for a cup of coffee

How hard is it to make a small decaf coffee with one shot of espresso? Starbucks got it right, too hard for this place! Even the remake was wrong, and it was expensive. I just want a coffee as black and bitter as my soul without feeling cracked out on caffeine, do I need to justify my drink to you? it's none of your concern, that's what I want. That tip I gave you, I'd like it back, bad job.

The pastry was meh. Not worth the calories. Would have been a lot better if heated, but they won't heat it up. Only bagels get heated.

He didn't ask if I wanted my coffee for here or to go.

Lovely local coffee shop with excellent pour overs, really good bagels and scones, nice music, very friendly service, local artwork on the walls, and a nice atmosphere.

I'm in this cafeteria and my experience was really terrible. I noticed that there are 4 to 5 employees working but they don't pay attention to the work. They talk a lot all the time and take an excessive amount of time to deliver the orders. They make the customers wait a long time and they don't pay attention to the takeout orders. I saw Uber drivers waiting for up to 20 minutes. The employees should pay more attention to the service.

Coffee was excellent. The person taking our order on Monday 10/21 gave off a bizarre vibe, and very odd tone. I asked about a drink with an obscure name (there was no description on the menu), hoping to learn what was in it or perhaps something about the taste. She responded by saying it was their “signature drink” and wouldn’t give any further information. We decided to order other drinks and it was unclear whether she was listening and what judgment she was making on us. Overall quite off putting and would not visit again if I had to give her my order!

I loved the Housemade chai latte, very good place, the staff was friendly and well organized, since there were a lot of people but with one person collecting money at the register and two making the coffees/teas, the wait was not very long.

Amazing coffee: best of many stops on a short visit to SF

Solid espresso and pastries. Hard to find parking. My biggest gripe is the temperature of the coffee. Might seem like a small detail but a shop like this should be able to know what temperature goes with what drink. I shouldn't be getting burning hot cortados or cappuccinos. Americanos or even a latte I can understand but I had to wait 10-15 minutes before even being able to sip my cappuccinos multiple times. I just end up getting iced lattes or espresso instead. Decent place with consistent flavor.

This is what a coffee shop should be. All other coffee shops need to learn from here

Equator is a great local coffee roaster / cafe chain. The Mill Valley location (Shoreline) is nice but I prefer

Teas were disappointing. The seasonal strawberry Matcha cream was just water and two drops of strawberry cream. Very bland chai latte. On another note Croissants were fluffy and buttery.

Waited 20 minutes for a coffee while a slew of online/app orders were processed. Such a bummer as I love the location and they do a nice Joe, but the cafe experience has gone down the well. There has to be a way of prioritizing in-person orders, for example just give the staff the freedom to do so as appropriate. Coffee’s meant to be asked for and received quickly, and hot, not ordered like a meal and delivered only long after the thought of “a coffee would be nice” has long since dissipated.
